Tip

Certain legends have different strengths.
- If an alphanumeric legend is required, create a STRATA legend.
- CONTOUR legends create intervals.
- Use BLOCK legends to represent grade data.
The Date Setup Format in Settings > Preferences > Miscellaneous must match the format used in the Colour by Attributes legend if colouring by a date field such as Start or End.
Mining directions are required for triangulations when colouring by periods.
